This planet of communication and perspective Mercury moves into more charming Libra from September 14th -October 3rd. When Mercury is in Libra we tend to be more on the friendly side but also we are diplomatic, which means we are careful about what we say and perhaps a little more cautious.

Relationships seem to be more tense than usual, and often we see folks have more money problems, as it seems like money is constantly going out! Single folks seem to have a tougher time meeting soulmate like partners also.

Our lives seem to start picking back up once again and big developments start to happen! Plus the Goddess herself, Venus is visible in the night sky once again.

Hopefully, we will start seeing some good stuff manifest once again under her glowing light.

However, it has been slowing us down for too long and we need a shift like with any of the Signs of the Zodiac, (too much of a good thing.) Today Mercury shifts gears and comes up for air and into harmony-seeking Libra, through Oct 17th.

This breath of fresh air means we tend to think more rationally, especially in our relationships. And it’s a good time to resolve any recent conflicts, arguments, or misunderstandings as the communication planet enters peaceful Libra, this energy is here to teach us all how to just get along. Libra is the peace-maker of the Zodiac and Mercury is the communicator, so with the world in so much turmoil over the last few months, this could really help some things get better. Some folks will just be more willing to apologize, make amends, or extend some sort of peaceful resolutions.

We can be diplomatic and friendly, as we strive to be fairer. It’s the time to think about working on your negotiation skills as we are better at seeing both sides to situations.
